NAHBS Best in Show: English Time Trial Bike

10 / 14

Rob English won Best in Show for his jaw-dropping time trial rig, a personal project. Outside of the Shimano Di2 derailleur, chain, cassette, saddle, and wheels, English built every part on the bike. The bladed tubes are only 18mm wide in most places, helping the bike to slip through the wind—it all but disappears when viewed from the front. When asked how the gossamer-looking rig handled, he answered honestly, “I don’t know; I haven’t ridden it yet.”
